'Access mailbox using MAPI or Outlook Redemption on Exchange 2016/2019

I have been asked to do some research on how to access a user's mailbox and execute some basic tasks(copy emails, create folders, delete folders/emails, move emails from one folder to another based on a certain criteria) on Exchange Server 2016/2019 without Outlook. I have seen that the recommended method is through EWS. But EWS or "anything" over http is not an option as it would be too slow for what we're looking for. So what i have looked at was MAPI. But i have seen a lot of posts indicating that MAPI beacame obsolete and won't work with Exchange 2016/2019.
So my question is: Can i perform these basic tasks mentioned above with MAPI or Outlook-Redemption on Exchange Server 2016/2019 without Outlook?
